Krista Lennart (she/her)
Krista’s goal: To shift the question from “am I doing this right?”, to “how can I adapt this for me?” Providing every practitioner and instructor with the agency to decide for themselves.
Krista is a native Portlander who started teaching movement in 1997 and has never stopped. Her current professional priority is to be a steadfast advocate for students and fellow teachers. In addition to napping on bolsters as self-care one of her core beliefs is that everyone is doing their best, and that is perfectly good enough.
In 2015, she received her Masters in Motor Learning and Control and Physical Education from the Teachers College Columbia University Biobehavioral Sciences department – the answers she unveiled there from that research would change the way she looks at the wellness industry forever and would become the lychpin of The Practice Space’s curriculums today.
